Description

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1982Pauillac
3bn, 2ts, 3vhs, 3bsl, 1scl, 4lcc
Bottle (9)"Still backward with a deep ruby/plum color revealing only a
touch of lightening at the edge, the wine offers up an
extraordinary nose of caramelized herbs, smoke, cedar, pen ink,
black currants, and earth. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by a
full-bodied, plump, rich, fleshy wine with low acidity. With 6-8
hours decanting in a closed decanter, it will offer beautiful
drinking, but it needs another 5-8 years to reach full maturity. It
is capable of lasting 50-60 years." (97+pts Robert Parker, Wine
